This workshop series offers a chance to experiment, play, and learn about yourself. Using fun

and accessible artistic tools, you will have the opportunity to make friends with your thoughts

and feelings. These workshops are an opportunity to practice mindfulness in a supported


environment, identify habits and emotional loops, and develop a personalized toolkit for self-

care.

The tools presented in these workshops can be used to improve concentration, experience

mirroring, reduce overwhelm and practice self-soothing. These activities are important thriving

mechanisms for people who can be described as neurodiverse.

These tools come from techniques in the visual arts and poetry but are explored in ways that

focus on experiencing resilience, identifying core values, and learning self-reliance. They can be

used to strengthen the foundation of a creative practice and can be used by artists in any

discipline.

Presented by a local Saskatoon Artist, made possible by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the

Government of Saskatchewan. Rebecca La Marre is a queer Canadian artist with a writing,

research, and performance practice. Her work is exhibited and published internationally and

has taken her to over 20 countries. She was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD, autism,

anxiety, and depression. Through the diagnosis she discovered that many of the strategies she

uses in her art practice also double as effective ways to cope with challenging aspects of her

neurodiversity.

She holds a Masters in Art Writing from Goldsmiths, University of London, and has been the

recipient of funding from The British Arts Council, The Québec Council for the Arts and the

Federal Government of Canada. This workshop series is funded by SK Arts: Artists in

Communities.
